Un Dorian Gray sin pasado, ni patria ni bandera.

I'm just a guy in the who likes going on adventures, and playing games with friends.

Three things I love: the Oxford Comma, irony, and missed opportunities.

I always loved The Dreadnoughts version of this.

So projection as always with them.

With the way this timeline is shaping up… it wouldn't surprise me anymore.

Hey, make sure you guys don't use plastic straws anymore, and turn the water off when you're lathering up in the shower. 🙄

If you like the idea of Bazzite, but aren't a gamer, you could go with Bluefin or Aurora depending on your preference.

If bazzite works for you, then good enough! Bazzite just comes with a lot more support for periphials that some might not need/want (e.g. vr headsets). So yeah, leaner. Or for that one poster, a neofetch icon that's not a gamepad?

As Supreme Court takes up homeless ban, a city’s unhoused feel abandoned ( www.washingtonpost.com )

“It wasn’t that long ago that I was part of the community,” said Gutowski, sitting at a picnic table in a park about a mile from her old house. “But the more I’m out here, the more angry I get. … They’re not trying to make things better for us, or help us have another shelter, or keep us safe — or help us even...

The homeless are really Fae?

I joined and downloaded, but I'm running into the issue where it crashes as soon as the intro window pops up. It looks like it's describing what it does, but it doesn't last long. I'm on a Pixel 7 Pro if that helps at all?

I don't think so? It's not that interesting since it just fails, but if you want to see it in action: https://litter.catbox.moe/5f5cks.mp4

Makes me feel slightly better knowing that we're not the only ones getting actively screwed over by the older folks.

Fuck Reagan and Fuck Thatcher.

I won't add anything new here, but just chiming in that it's also my favorite game of all time. I got to play it when it was contemporary (ps3 I think?) and a couple of years ago rebought and replayed it on Steam. I lobe everything from the artwork and symphonic score, to the play style and plot as it were, to even the communal nature of the game and the fact you can only chirp as communication. Like others, it had a very profound impact on me when playing. It's definitely one of those I wish I could play for the first time all over again.

Yeah, we're the same. It's hybrid in that we're expected to come in when it makes sense to do so, but that's more or less left to us. If your internet isn't working then you're expected to work from the office, that sort of thing.

I don't know if they purposefully went with a bad picture, but he's really not looking good. More so than usual.

That for me is a stretching thing. I don't care if I'm back of the plane, I'm standing up as soon as we're allowed.

themadcodger ,

Oh, well in that case I'll just stand during the flight, and remain seated when we land so other people who care too much about what strangers are doing feel more comfortable.

Yeah, it's silly, but I switch back to the default board to send a gif and then switch back.

themadcodger ,
themadcodger avatar

Line for line, that's pretty much exactly what I'd do.

themadcodger ,

Yeah, I haven't really found any that interesting yet either, but set a server up for my friends to play Pathfinder on since we wanted to ditch discord.

Welcome! When you say you're already used to microblogging, are you already familiar with mastodon and firefish?

I stole this from someone in a different comment: https://youtu.be/1L2ef1CP-yw?si=aLTlAMKv_3p3ri2q

It doesn't answer your question, but it demonstrates his answer.

Not to detract from your suggestions, but the website portion of the card is clickable. Took me a minute to figure that out.

From what I understand, NewPipe has been abandoned and someone else forked it to Tubular which includes SponsorBlock.

In 2018, Republicans accidentally legalized cannabis. Now 22 AGs want them to undo it ( thehill.com )

A coalition of 22 state attorneys general is calling on Congress to address “the glaring vagueness” that has led to legal cannabis products being sold over the counter across the country — including sometimes from vending machines or online....

Possibly because I'm from a legal state and wasn't paying attention to it, but I'm not sure what you're talking about if you care to expound?

themadcodger ,
themadcodger avatar

Wow, me too. I was expecting to have to create a post for it, didn't think anyone would have started there.

themadcodger ,

Ooh, Under a Steel Sky. I've been in the mood to play one of those old ScummVM games. How is that one?

If you're interested, follow hash tags not people. Well, you can follow people too if you find someone you vibe with. Also following groups can help … until someone forgets what 'reply all' means.

So the original cryptocurrency?

Pop_OS or Linux Mint. Both just work. The Atomic idea is nice, but still too soon for complete beginners or the lazy (not a pejorative).

I spun up my own server for our game, and it's been working fairly well for us. It's not a 1:1, but I like that the data stays local and it's e2ee

It feels so barbaric going to the bathroom at work or in public now

Briefs. The problems guys complain about re: fit are usually because they're cheap and/or don't fit well. Find the right pair of briefs, and it's like wearing nothing at all. And nothing bunching up your legs either.

If you weren't already aware, the fediverse has equivalents to all of those except tiktok. Could help fill that void.

If you don't want to go commando, but don't want lines: AsWeMove. They're spendy, but extremely accommodating and once you get them dialed in, it feels like wearing nothing at all.

I love the French. They get a lot of flak, but they know how to stand up for themselves in a way we don't.

There was already talk of at at least, so likely!

Katie Porter's star dims in failed US Senate bid, leaving the Californian facing an uncertain future ( apnews.com )

U.S. Rep. Katie Porter became a social media celebrity by brandishing a white board at congressional hearings to dissect CEOs and break down complex figures into assaults on corporate greed, a signature image that propelled the Democrat’s U.S. Senate candidacy in California....

Nasty tricks to keep a populist candidate who isn't a fan of the current capitalist system from winning? Well that certainly sounds familiar.
